Re: Muddy tele neck pickup? This wiring fixes a muddy dull neck humbucker (or mini humbucker or whatever) if you are not looking for the muted and woman tones. I've done this on my S/H combination Teles. Works best when you set the humbucker low, and adjust the amp for the humbucker, then...

I am the lucky owner of a beautifully aged 1974 Wine Red Gibson Les Paul Custom 20th Anniversary. When I bought it in the mid 80's it had already had the pickups swapped out for a set of cream Di Marzio dual sounds and two mini toggle switches added to facilitate coil tapping, a la Al Di Meola...
